Cheap And Cheerful —
My brother owned one of these and it was at least tough.
It needed to be with my brother!
They're essentially tough and reliable cars - performance from the legendary flat-four is quite spirited, and fuel consumption is good. Bodywork is tough, and trim levels are high.
The biggest issue is when it did a head gasket and my brother drove it until it stalled. Overhauling the engine with new head gaskets solved the issue and it soldiered on for a few more years.
Very comfy to drive, soft seats and good ride. Handling was ok, but nothing special.
As my brother also proved, they bounce off buildings - many times!

My Old SubaruBy Halvor

A very boring car. Bad acceleration, soft suspension and lot of noise inside the cupè. Low fun factor. Still, it`s a very solid car, and the maintenance costs are very low. Gas mileage are high for th...
